Florida Woman Helps Collect 1,200 LBS of Food on Her 90th Birthday

For the fourth consecutive year, Helga Drabin of Coconut Creek, Florida hosted a food drive on her birthday. Instead of gifts, Helga asks her guests to bring non-perishable food items.

Last year, she and her friends were able to collect nearly 1,000 pounds of food. And for Ms. Drabin’s 90th birthday, they surpassed by collecting a whopping 1,250 pounds of food. That equates to 1040 meals for her neighbors in need! Ms. Drabin and her friends have now collected a grand total of 2,450 pounds of food since 2013 – that’s over 2,000 meals!

There are over 3.2 million people in Florida who face hunger each day, including 1 in 4 children. Thank you to Ms. Drabin and Beltmann Relocation Group for your dedication to your community. You are proof that it’s possible for a small group of people to make a big difference!
